San Francisco Otpx

Fresh off their World Finals appearance, the San Francisco Optx dropped in at the NewPark Mall in Newark. Three team members were there: Vanessa Arteaga, the best Dead or Alive 4 player in the world; Dublin’s own Chad Neil, whose Forza 2 racing skills were instrumental in the playoffs; and Alessandro Avallone (pictured above), a pro gamer who plays as the Optx’s FIFA specialist.

All three were there taking on all comers as part of back-to-school event. Staff writer Rob Dennis was there and wrote up a nice piece on the event.
